Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked trout
- 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dill, fresh and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by removing the skin and any bones from the smoked trout, then flake the flesh into small pieces using a fork.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the flaked trout to the mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Mix in the lemon juice, fresh dill, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You may add additional lemon juice or a pinch more black pepper if needed, but be cautious with any added salt to keep it low sodium.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve with fresh veggies, whole-grain crackers, or low-sodium crisps for a delightful, guilt-free appetizer.
